Fianna Family

The Fianna family is a very old line going back thousands of years. The families original homeland was in Kheif on the South West Island. Though 700 years ago one brother, Kalin, moved to Minas Ithil on Atamara. He fought first as a mercenary for the king of Minas Ithil. He was knighted after he saved the kings life on the battlefield and as a reward for his service given a small plot of land. And so the Noble Fianna family was born. Now 700 years later the Fianna family calls Minas Ithil it's homeland and no memory of the South West Island remains. Except for the name...Fianna.

==Connor== Cavalier

Connor is young, but disciplined and dutiful. His duty to the duchy of York and the realm of Minas Ithil comes before all else. He follows the laws to the letter and enforces them as well. He will voice his opinion, but will follow orders even if it means the death of himself and his troops. His dutifulness is often mistaken for being extremely cold. It is also questionable as to whether or not he has ever smiled. His sense of duty will never allow him to leave Minas Ithil. After his father died and brother left Connor assumed the title of noble of the Fianna lands in Minas Ithil. Connor is usually found in all black, black mail, black leather and black wool. Connor wields the family great sword "Ice kiss".

==Laoch== Hero

Laoch is the more adventurous than his younger brother Connor. Laoch was born with enough humor for two, perhaps the reason Connor has none. One almost always sees a smile on Laochs face wherever he is. He left his home after an argument with his brother about Connor's stubborness and forfeit his rights to their fathers lands. There is still anger between the two. Laoch had found a home in Ikalak on the South East Island where he has joined other honorable nobles in a fight to save the cornered realm. Unfortunately after only a few months the realm fell in the fight against Taselak and Sandalak. Unable to stay on the island where the flag that flies above the city is not that of Ikalak Laoch decided to leave island. Laoch sailed for the continent Beluaterra where he joined Luz de Bia. Disagreements and hostility from the leadership in Luz led Laoch to make his way over to Riombara where he currently resides. He was once considered handsome, but scars now cover part of his face from the battle for Ikalak city. Laoch carries a bastard sword he found in his father's armory when he was a child, runes are etched in the blade though no one knows what they mean. In Riombara Laoch became friends with a black cat missing an eye and half his tail. After naming him "Lucky" and giving him a home on his shoulder Laoch has begun talking to the cat...to the worry of his soldiers.

==Qhorin== Mentor

Qhorin is the bastard brother of Connor and Laoch. The late Lord Fianna kept him in clothes and fed during his childhood only because Qhorin's mother died in childbirth. Qhorin earned his keep doing the books for a tavern, as well as breaking up the occasional brawl. On his deathbed the Lord Fianna knighted Qhorin making him a noble to the horrors of the rest of the family. Used to the abuse Qhorin brushed it off, but left to make a name for himself. A while later he emerged from the countryside in Arcachon. Qhorin is also covered in blue knotwork tattoos though he prefers to wear his worn out leather armor into battle. Growing up with nothing he has only handled a sword once and made a poor show of it. He is more adept with cheaper weapons like daggers and the spear.

==Nicko== Hero

Nicko is not directly related to Connor, Laoch or Eddard and does not know them. He is from the ancient lands of the Fianna family on the South West Island. He comes from the cold southern regions known as the badlands. The badlands warriors are tough and it is often said they are made of ice and iron. Headstrong, fearless and sometimes considered reckless he has agreed to fight for Taselak. Though his main concern is for the people his ancestors used to rule in the badlands. He is the first of the ancient Fianna line on the South West Island to make a name for himself. In the last days of Taselak, Nicko felt betrayed by the Prime Minister and his treason against the realm. Seething with fury Nicko boarded a ship without another word to the realm. Covered in blue knotwork tattoos that are meant to protect, Nicko often goes into battle wearing only breeches. Nicko's favoite weapon is a long axe.

==Eddard== Soldier

Eddard is cousin to Laoch and Connor. He was born on a ship off the coast of Atamara and was drawn to the sea since childhood. Growing up family members used to comment that he was more fish than boy. Connor became one of the youngest if not the youngest captain of a wargalley in all of Atamara. Though before he could make a name for himself on land the Drowned god(Song of Ice and Fire reference) decided to test his luck. Off the shore of the Colonies a tremendous storm crashed Eddards ship among the rocks and it went down almost instantly. True to his boyhood comparison Eddard swam through the storm to shore and rallied what was left of his men. After a short time Eddard grew restless with the slow moving colonies and traveled to Old Rancagua. In less than a month in Old Rancagua Eddard went missing, his men were questioned as well as many others. No one knows what happened to him.
